Just in case, here's the one that started the thread:
The going rate in Russia is about $80 per medal. This is one expensive set of commemorative medals! Rusty.

Rusty,
Great job buddy! Quite expensive set indeed, if selling for about $80 each Medal! Some $1,440.00 for the 18 :cry: And at least all those you posted are quite nice! Thanks, Dolf

Funny that they all have a look-a-like ribbon from the Capture of Berlin.

Anyway, back to the subject, after all the Medal that started this thread wasn't issued by a particular Partisan Veterans organisation, but rather by a larger organisation of Veterans of War, probably including former Partisans among their members! Interesting!

To me it explained how a non-government organization was able to produce medals to be manufactured at the state mint.
